Two years ago this day you had so much to say, begging me to stay. At the time I was so blind I was willing to play, allowing myself to be tamed. Back then you were on the other side of the world, now you're a mere four hours away. The thought of seeing this world without you by my side had me feeling like I wouldn't make it out of heartache alive. I cried, thought most of me had died, then I came to realize, when you love a man beyond what you can handle that beauty never dies. Once I embraced the bitter sweetness of that bite, I took flight into the night, no longer fearing a world without your light. You taught me that fairy tales aren't reality, and the low of learning that has let me find beauty beyond any white horse fantasy. I know in my core that behind those baby brown Saggitarian eyes there's adoration for me that will never die. No dime you ever find can hold it down with a love like mine, finally that's fine.
